In very interesting sketch Of fever
pathology in THE British Medical Jour
nal" by DR.. GoOdridge, the admission Is
frankly made that the onset Of the char
acteristic phenomena In that widely
prevalent disease has not yet been demon
strated-in a word, that the proximate
cause OF fever still remains undetermined.
What is positively known is that the
characteristic elevation Of temperature Of
the body in fever is mainly due to in
creased production Of heat; and, besides
the increased production Of heat, there is
disorder of nutrition. an abnormal dis
integration of the body and particularly
Of the muscular tissue, evinced, on the
one hand, by increased excretion Of urea
and potash salts, Of carbonic acid and per-
haps also by water; and, on the other
hand, by progressive loss Of body weight.
The increased production Of heat occur
ring at time when principal source Of
normal heat production-viz., the food
invested, is all but completely cut Of,
must have its origin in the abnormal dis
i.itegration of tissue-the converse, too,
may hold good to a greater or less extent,
there being thus action and reaction

RIFLES OF TIE FUTURE.
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ALL ENGAGED
IN REDUCING THE CALDER.
The Advantages of \ Smaller sized HUI
l~t-Germany's Mauser aud the French
Well known systems.

Two features in infantry rifles are now
absorbing attention in all parts Of the
world, the caliber and the repeating
apparatus. France, Germany, Austria,
England, Holland and Italy are all en-.
gagged in reducing the caliher, and here in
our own country Gen. Benet says, in a re-
cent report, that ''the question OF . re-
duced caliber for smaA arms is now under
consideration by the department'-a
statement which speaks volumes. With
n smaller caliber are joined a steel cased
bullet and compressed powder, or
else far more powerful powder, which
gives greater range and penetration,
while many additional cartridges of the
the smaller size can obviously he carried
by the soldier. This last advantage is the
more important, since the tendency to
fire too rapidly is increased by the repeat
ing arms.
Germany, in order to supply her army
with magazine guns ahead OF France,
kept her factories at Erfurth, Spandau
and Dantzic working day and night; and
now that she has completed the arming uf
her troops at large cost she is to begin all
over again with a new small bore rifle,
because the French have a small bore
The present German repeating arm, which
may do for the reserve and militia, is the

pushed by a spring into the barrel. Col.
Arbuthnot, superintendent OF the Enfield
factory, considers it the worst repeater he
has seen. 1t is certainly both heavy and
i'll balanced, although it has the advan-
tage that simple movement turns 1t
to a single loader, and it requires no new
manual of drill But it is doomed before
it has been really used, because better
gun is found in France. The caliber Of
the new German rifle is to be eight milli-
meters, which is only .3l5 inch, while
that OF the Mauser is eleven millimeters,
or .432 inch.
